Speed to market
As China’s strong economy continues to propel business growth, companies are constantly on the search for finance professionals to help achieve organisational goals. In a highly competitive market, companies in China need to navigate the hiring process quickly to source top talent, or risk losing them to the competition.
An increased focus on career growth
Whilst salary remains an important component of job satisfaction, increasingly candidates are favouring job stability and opportunities for career growth over a salary increase. Hiring managers need to ensure that they have a strong staff retention strategy in place to support employee growth and development.
Remuneration decisions in 2018
In China’s competitive market, hiring managers must think about remuneration as more than just a salary to entice top talent to their company, but rather the entire package that includes additional benefits. Companies should also be flexible when it comes to offering a higher salary to attract their preferred candidates, and ensure they have a firm career development strategy to retain employees.
